Dear Mister Ferrigno
Dearest Lyo

Your gift was unbelievably beautiful, it was really the dress I wished for. I'll show it to you, next time we have a ball or such an event. So I thank you for it once again.

Never have I been a good in writing letters, but such a long time has passed since we've met, so I wanted to give an update on the things that happened here and a sign of life...

The stables is currently snowed in and very empty. Many staff members are stucked in other countries, where they can't leave, because of the snow. The stable hands live in the next village so the horses are well cared for regardless of the weather. We try to train as many of them as we can, but some are getting a little angry and out of shape lately. Amadeus catched a bad cold, he is coughing all the time and as all men, he is making a real BIG DEAL about his suffering. Arcanum still misses Damon, greetings to him please. Oh, and congratulations to the first place in the Dressage competition at Rosendal, Catherine phoned me and told me she marveled that Damon didn't fall off the horse in the winners honour round He seemed REALLY drunk, even for his usual state of drunkness.

I really wish I could have been there, Amadeus and me would have kicked his ass

It's so empty here. When I came home from christmas Charly greeted me and told me that we the only ones in the mansion... Do you know just HOW BIG 78 rooms are when there are only two persons in the whole mansion. Well at least... Charly and me are not fighting about the bathroom anymore now that we have 15 to choose from.

Did you heard of my Boss? He is gone for several days now. Charotte says he does this from time to time, and he might be of to buy some new horses somewhere... so I try not to be concerned. But some staff members already declared that they are going to leave the stables, if he doesn't come back in the next three weeks.

You won't believe how spooky this building is. I'm sitting in the "Dames Room" right now, just to avoid my own room. I don't know what it is, but now that we are only ones in the mansion I realize what strange noises fill this building an which strange things do happen here.

Several days ago the police was here and I was scared that they found out we had Noir in our stables ... But someone had called them and told them that there was a dead body to be found in the woods, not far away of DLS' borders. A homeless person they think, but I wonder where that person should have come from, we are miles away from the next bigger town and if someone of the village went missing, we would have known by now. We showed them around, but they couldn't do much, because the whole ground is covered waist-deep with snow and ice. They said they come back, when it's melted. Can you imagine this? There might be a dead person in those woods and they say... We have to wait for bloody spring...

Yesterday I heard someone in riding boots walking down the corridor. There was also a metallic klinging sound as if someone dragged a metal bar across the floor. I was afraid there was someone criminal or the Boss had come back. As I went outside of the room to look , there was no one there. Moments later Charlotte came out of her room asking me why I'm making such loud noises in the middle of the night... I said it wasn't me and she smiled suggested that this might be the dead one of the wood... maybe he/she wants to warm up at the fireplace down in the main hall.
That's ridiculous, why should it walk around in the upper story then?

I just realized that it is Valentine's Day, when this letter (hopefully) reaches you.
I guess I might have a little gift for you. It's not a Valentine's gift, because I actually don't like this holiday very much. But it's sent with a little bit of love though.

Take care of you and your crew

yours
Anna

The dress she wears here is not the one that Lyo gave her
